Eden Farms

First impressions go a long way. Be it the presentation, selection, or all of the staff, Eden Farms was up to the task.nnI've found my new annual tree spot. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Last week I had my 24 year old patio, paths and stoops resurrected by two stone masons sent by Eden Farms.nI had forgotten how light the bluestone looked originally. It is now a pleasure sit out on the level stones with no drainage issues. The masons went so far as to correct some of the drainage issues with the adjacent yard which also enhanced the look of the patio, It was very gratifying doing business with them.nI visited the farm the other day and was delighted to see a nice variety of beautiful plants still available this late in the season. The corn and tomatoes from the Farm Stand were delicious.nI'll be back soon.

Nice fun place to visit every early Autumn. They have a cute Country Store, and a pumpkin patch down below the main area. Although they are not giving hay rides in the tractor trailor this year, so will be looking forward to that hopefully next year.

This is my second visit in a row to this place where I’ve experienced poor customer service and felt unsafe. A month and a half ago I went there looking for seeds and peony plants. I entered their main store space with mask on and the woman behind the counter and teenaged girl both weren’t wearing masks and both seemed reluctant, bordering on annoyed, about helping me. I got curt answers to my questions. I didn’t feel safe enough to stay in the store with the workers not wearing masks , so I wandered the grounds hoping someone would be there to help me with my peony questions. So one was there, so I left.nnToday I returned thinking that I shouldn’t judge a place by just one experience. Unfortunately, this experience was worse. The two same people still weren’t wearing masks even though all of their customers were. This time though there was a kinder man who was wearing him mask (off and on) who did nicely answer my question. I wanted to look at seeds, but the woman and girl without masks were in the store space. So, I left, but here’s what really, really annoyed me: As I approached the parking lot I saw a teenaged worker with a leaf blower blowing dust, gravel and wood chips in the parking lot and all around the many cars parked there. My newly washed car is now covered with dirt, dust and little scratches from the gravel blown onto it. What moron thinks this is really the best time to perform this task?! Seriously!nnWelp! Suffice to say, I will never visit there again. But I just discovered Designs By Lee. It’s a gorgeous place and the workers are wearing masks. I’m very happy to have this alternative in town.

Ordered a cord of wood that was delivered wet and covered in mud. Owner tried to correct by picking up the original cord and replacing with another cord. Unfortunately the replacement cord isn’t seasoned and will not burn. Back to Vermont Good Wood next time.
